Maisie Williams is "petrified" of people her own age.
The 21-year-old actress "gave up" her teenage years because of her commitments to playing Arya Stark in 'Game of Thrones' and she admitted she's not spent a lot of time with her own peers.
Speaking to The Guardian newspaper, Maisie said: "I gave up a huge part of my adolescent life. I'm still petrified of my peers, because I just didn't spend a lot of time with them."
Though Maisie has finished work on the eighth and final season of the HBO fantasy drama series, she insists the show is still "very much" a part of her life - though she felt she'd exhausted the role once she wrapped filming.
She added: "It's still very much a part of my life. I got to the end and I didn't want more. I had exhausted every possible piece of Arya. And this season was quite big for me. I had a lot more to do.
"Mainly because there's just less characters now, so everyone's got more to do."
The final season of the show is shrouded in mystery, but the British star thinks her character got the "perfect" ending - even though the assassin was out on her own.
She said: "I ended on the perfect scene. I was alone - shocker! Arya's always bloody alone. But I was alone and I had watched a lot of other people wrap. I knew the drill, I had seen the tears and heard the speeches."
Maisie made her own "unplanned" speech after the cast finished filming 'Game of Thrones' and she realised how much the show had "meant" to her.
She added: "It wasn't something I planned, but in that moment I realised what the show meant to me."
